Yee-Lynn: big *hugs* You knew my mom at her prime, and that is how I choose to remember her. Thanks so much for your continued friendship through the years! Megan: ooh, an 800 calorie margarita sounds good.... but I digress. Must make the CHOICE to cope in other ways! FF: I'm so sorry to hear about your grandmother.

Good for you for staying strong and focusing on the wonderful times you had together. I just recently lost my grandmother to cancer and she and I were very close. I find solace in the fact that she is finally at peace and I know she would want me to continue to live a healthy and happy life. Best Regards, FF I am so sorry to hear about your mother.

But you make a very good point...it is a CHOICE to do that. Sometimes I will justify myself by saying, "Oh, well I had a bad day, so it's ok to drink this 800-calorie margarita and eat six baskets of chips and salsa." :) I'm trying to find alternatives, like taking a walk with my husband or calling a friend when I get stressed, instead of ripping my pantry apart. It's definitely hard though. Your attitude is very inspiring!
